PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Porch pirates who appear as Amazon drivers were caught on camera stealing new credit cards from Valley homes. Arizona’s Family has confirmed two cases with strangely similar circumstances. Two different FedEx drivers were dropping off new credit cards in two different Valley homes. In both situations, men who appear to be Amazon employees with a package in hand use sleight of hand not to drop off, but to pick up those packaged credit cards.
“He came over, acted like he was delivering it and put our package from FedEx underneath his and walked away from both,” said Shelly Dinsmore.
Dinsmore couldn’t believe what her New River home Ring doorbell video captured and was surprised to find out the same thing happened to a woman in Phoenix. What’s also jaw-dropping is that they were both receiving Capitol One credit cards after their old ones were hit with fraud.
Before it was even in their possession, the new cards were already linked to their Amazon accounts. “I don’t know if it was Amazon or our credit card, but it synced right away with our Amazon,” said Dinsmore. “I don’t know if someone is in cahoots with someone or what like, ‘oh, they got a new credit card, let’s get their information.’”
